Iraq blocks Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and Instagram, then shuts down internet amid civil unrest
POSTED ON OCTOBER 2, 2019
Network data from the NetBlocks internet observatory show that Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram and other social and messaging apps have been blocked in Iraq by multiple internet providers as of 12:30 UTC, Wednesday 2 October 2019.
The restrictions come just as hundreds have been reported wounded as police fire tear gas, bullets at protesters.
Technical measurements show that each of the services have been intentionally restricted by leading Iraqi network operators including Earthlink, Asiacell and Zain in a manner consistent with previous incidents of censorship in the country. Findings are based on a set of technical measurements from across the country assessing reachability and network performance.
